18 years since they last made it to the final, 34 years since they last won the Cup- can this be the year? Iโm shaking hereโฆ. 
P.S.: How many of us here were alive when the 1990 Oilers hoisted the Cup? There are likely a few people who have never seen it in this forum. It would be great if they could actually witness it themselvesโฆ

Yeah, I'm lucky enough to really remember 88 & 90 pretty clearly, 87 a big vaguely.
I vividly remember Erin from on here selling me a ticket to Game 3 of the 2006 finals, and me driving 140 km/h or faster from Calgary to get to the game with 20 minutes to spare.
Enjoy the memories, y'all!

Something I never thought I would see again in my lifetime is within the sights of the Oil, and unlike 2006 they didnโt sneak in. Iโm giving huge credit to Coach Knob for their ability to get this far.

Born three days before Gretz was tradedโฆ I missed out on the dominance of the Oil way back when. 06 was a treat. McDavid lottery was a treat. Now we get this? I want more. LMG!!! Pants launched to Toronto at that final buzzer!

Amazing. I miss this feeling. Goofy game, but a win is a win. Skinner in epic form stole this game along with McDavidโs ridiculous goal.

This is the feel good positive of this sketchy game. The confidence boost it gives Skinner.
I wonโt lie. I didnโt think this team would make the final. Not a chance. There were some stacked teams this spring. But I now believe they belong here.

I remember the cup wins, way fewer hockey fans in the UK then, and very few following the NHL (thank goodness for Canadian relatives).
Was around here for the 06 cup run, seemingly remember suggesting we had to change the old header if we won as we'd need another cup in the picture.
As for tonight, they made it difficult for themselves, we've proven that we can sit back and defend a lead, but it shouldn't be default, McDavid said it himself in the post game we only really played in the first period.
It's a week off, rest the bodies and head for Florida and for some of us, it's a week of going to bed at normal times rather than 7 or 8pm to get up at 1am.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers

Legit probably the best day of my life. (Marrying my wife is up there), but her being literally on death's door, then her a week or so later actually being able to watch us secure a finals spot?)
I'm not even sure that a cup win will top that, but let's find out!

Been an Oiler fan since seeing my first game in 1973 with my dad. Was a Habs fan (NHL anyway) at the time but since 1979 all Oil all the way! This team reminds me of the glory days teams mostly offence during the regular season then somehow suddently a defensive team when needed in the playoffs (NHL tried to manage games vs the Bruins (especially) to take the cup away).
Remember walking into the old Coliseum when it was new (Miles for Millions took me there :-) )
- it was awesome at the time (I was 9). The Oilers sustained me during some tough times (my mom died that year)... Kevin Lowe (the manager) - curse his name - the decade of darkness doesn't happen without him. This is so special after the start to the year... I never really gave up, the had many doubts during the year and during the Nucks series... Knobs was a good choice!

Perry in the finals with 5 different teams is a record apparently.
He is 1/4 striking out in the last 3. I think he is due. Let's make it 2/5.

10- Devils (Apr 9, 1990 vs WSH)
11- Flyers (Apr 22, 2016 vs WSH)

Interesting fact: the tradition of conference winners not touching their trophies started after 1990, as Messier did hold the Campbell Trophy when they were presented with it after beating the Hawks on the way to Cup number five.

Yep let's turn the Florida Panthers into the Buffalo Bills of the NHL....
As for the game, Oilers seemed nervous AF...thankful for those PP goals in the 1st as they seemed "caught up in the moment" during majority of the game.
I hope they'd be better mentally equipped for the Finals now.

Feels surreal, it was a lifetime ago when we went to Game 7 in 2006.
That being said I hate playing Tkachuk and it would be devastating to lose in the Finals.

I was just wondering if that was a record. Amazing achievement.
If they win I wonder if he retires..

A healthy Kane would be huge for the oilers. He will go after tkachuk and get in his head.. Hopefully 6 days is enough for a bunch of guys to get right.

Not how any of would have drawn this win up, eh? Passive on the attack since the 2nd goal. Zero chance the Oilers could have won a similar game in the McDavid era until this year and these playoffs.
So happy for my fellow fans young and old to get here again, hope they can seal the deal with 4 more W's. Here we are again, 18 years in the making, here we go, bring the Cup home, boys!
